1. f*** off Bob Backlund. My Olympic Hero and Eurocontinental champion does not need your assistance ever
2a This was a long time ago chronologically during my AE watch through but I'm really starting to wonder if WWF wasn't serious about pushing Billy Gunn during his feud with The Rock post KOTR and he just didn't get over enough at the time.
2b I genuinely wonder if the reunification of DX didn't coincide with a last ditch effort to get him over but his injury derailed it. Might as well be a rule in my book that stables are made solely for the purpose of getting a new, potentially great talent over see: Rock and the nation, HHH and DX, Orton/Batista in Evolution -You get the point
It's a shame because I genuinely enjoy his matches
I believe that WWE was serious but as always impatient, plus better guys came along. Rock famously murdered Gunn in a promo during that push, the rumour was that Austin wanted no part of working with him and so that was a big issue, and then while he was out with an injury you had Jericho, Angle, Benoit and company join the federation.
Also Road Dogg was always the superior New Age Outlaw and anyone who knows anything knows it.
